Sticker Shock

So. I haven't written. Which is partly because of my flaky personality and inability to focus on something for long periods of time and also because, frankly, I have no life. Sometimes I may make it seem like I have a life on facebook, but don't believe me! They're merely paltry tricks of illusion.

But school starts (FINALLY!!!) next Tuesday so you'll see me post more often. Cause I'll have a life.

So today we bought textbooks. Daddy is still in the frame financial mind from when he went to collage in the seventies. You know, when 12 + hours a semester cost a whopping $125. He thought the extra three hundred dollars from my pell grant would cover books. Needless to say I didn't believe him, and I tried to take out some money from a student loan, and he told me not to be ridiculous.

My textbooks cost 500 dollars and I'm only taking 12 hours. You could hear Daddy's "WHAT!?" halfway across the student union and he bitched about it the entire ride home. Here's my favorite quote from him, which I had to put in my facebook status:

"The state's fuck me in the ass so mcuh I might as well be a porn star!"

I had to edit it a little for facebook, lol.

But I didn't care because the cute guy at the bookstore remembered me from the last time we came in! They were slammed of course, from all the people moving back into the dorms, but he squeezed my shoulder as he walked past me and said hi.

Word of the Day: espacular

Something especially spectacular. I found it on a list of words that didn't make it into the oxford dictionary.
